Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions

NCT03745222
Lead Sponsor
Celgene
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter global study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab in combination with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) followed by tislelizumab monotherapy versus cCRT alone, and tislelizumab given sequentially after cCRT versus cCRT alone, in newly diagnosed stage III subjects with locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary endpoint is centrally-assessed progression free survival (PFS) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. .

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)Up to approximately 5 years; date of randomization to the date of tumor progression or death; until study withdrawal date of 26 June 2019

Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first objectively tumor progression as assessed by the blinded independent central review per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 criteria (documented by radiological assessment) or death (any cause) on or prior to the clinical cut-off date, which ever occurred first. Stable disease-neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase of lesions to qualify for Progressive disease (PD)• Progressive Disease- At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions from nadir.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival at 24 MonthsUp to approximately 24 months

Overall survival was defined as the time between randomization of treatment and death from any cause.

Overall Survival (OS)Up to approximately 5 years; date of randomization to date of death from any cause.

Overall survival was defined as the time between randomization of treatment and death from any cause.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Best Overall Response of Complete Response or Partial ResponseUp to approximately 5 years

Overall Response was defined as percentage of participants who had a radiologic confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) guidelines, between Day 1 of treatment and subsequent anti-cancer therapy, death or study discontinuation. Complete response was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR) is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline; stable disease-neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase of lesions to qualify for progressive disease (PD).

Duration of ResponseUp to approximately 5 years

Duration of Response is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of relapse, as determined by blinded independent central review per RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Percentage of Participants Alive and Progression-Free at 12 Months (APF12)Up to 12 months

Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first objectively tumor progression as assessed by the blinded independent central review per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 criteria (documented by radiological assessment) or death (any cause) on or prior to the clinical cut-off date, which ever occurred first

Percentage of Participants Alive and Progression-free at 18 Months (APF18)Up to approximately 18 months

Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first objectively tumor progression as assessed by the blinded independent central review per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 criteria (documented by radiological assessment) or death (any cause) on or prior to the clinical cut-off date, which ever occurred first

Time to Distant Metastasis (TTDM)Up to approximately 5 years

TTDM was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the first date of distant metastasis or death in the absence of distant metastasis. Distant metastasis was defined as any new lesion that is outside of the radiation field according to RECIST v1.1 or proven by biopsy.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From first dose of study drug up to study withdrawal date of 26 June 2019; 15 days.

TEAEs include any adverse events (AEs) that had an onset date or a worsening in severity from baseline on or after the first dose of study drug up to 30 days following study drug discontinuation or initiation of new anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. TEAEs also included all immune-related AEs recorded up to 90 days after the last dose of tislelizumab or placebo, regardless of whether or not the particpant started a new anticancer therapy. In addition, any serious AE with an onset date more than 30 days after the last dose of study drug that is assessed by the investigator as related to study drug were considered a TEAE."

Number of Participants With Lung Cancer Symptoms Assessed by the Corresponding Domains of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and Lung-Cancer Specific QLQ-LC13Up to approximately 5 years

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item, questionnaire assessing quality of life (QoL), psychosocial burden and physical symptoms. It is classified into 15 domains: 5 functional subscales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning); 3 multi-item symptom subscales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain); each item is measured on a 4 point response scale; (not at all, a little, quite a bit, very much), with the exception of the 2 items measuring global health and QoL, (measured on a 7-point response scale). Scores are linearly transformed to 0 to 100 scores. Scores vary from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) for the functional dimensions and GHS, and from 0 (best) to 100 (worst) for the symptom dimensions; higher scores = better QoL, better functioning, or more severe symptoms, respectively. The LC13 covers 13 typical symptoms of lung cancer patients, such as coughing, pain, dyspnea, sore mouth, peripheral neuropathy, and hair loss.

Percentage of Participants Who Would Have Continued on to Monotherapy PhaseUp to approximately 5 years

Included the percentage of participants who would have received at least one dose of tislelizumab or placebo in the monotherapy phase before progression.
